You don't need to run Open Aura. If you take your community seriously, just run something else or pay the money for a legit version. I'm just saying that people who use crappy unlegit versions are not taking their communities seriously.

If you want to run something else than Open Aura that doesn't cost any money, sure. Why not? But how will your community be any unique and qualitative if you're just one crappy unlegit Open Aura server out of several others?

The "crappy unlegit" versions are easily edited because you have all the code and can do whatever you want. With the paid versions, you can introduce next to no personalisation, making the server one of many paid versions of ConnaScript2011. (He just changes the version and the colour of the HUD and calls it a new gamemode)

There is no difference between the cracked and "legit" (read: ££££££) versions of Connas gamemodes. The only thing being that the cracked ones are both safer, fairer and run on whatever you want most times. Seriously, if Connas auth server goes down (which it does, a lot, usually because he gets attacked), legit users get locked out of a hundred+ pound investment. While the "awful pirate stoopidheads" get away scot free and can enjoy a backdoorless gameplay experience.

Stop sucking his dick for the love o god, and wake up. Realize you are being scammed.

Unique? Metaphorically, you're paying for a can of beans you could get for free without the label on.

Refer to the thread about why people don't like Gmod Roleplay if you're going to analyze "true" roleplay.

We get it already:
-The majority think Kuro's scripts are overpriced.
-The scripts mentioned earlier are recommended over paying.
-Kuro is still making money.
-We shouldn't give a damn over who is using what script as long as people are having fun.

As far as the no-refund policy, they should play the game-mode before making the mistake of buying something they didn't like.

Yes, I know that script matters, even though a professional server administration and a serious playerbase are just as or even more important.

Even DarkRP could work as good roleplaying gamemode, but it's reputation has been ruined million times.
OpenAura is the next DarkRP, it consists mostly from deathmatch, lack of actual roleplay, story and character development. Take a look at Phase Four servers, they are horrible.

You are just making a fool out of yourself. I don't know which Open Aura servers you've been playing at, but the whole core of Open Aura is based on anti-deathmatch, true roleplay, story and especially character development. If you play at a server ran by some kids who just downloaded a crappy unlegit version of Open Aura, I understand that they don't fulfill the core. Instead, try something more professional.

DarkRP is the exact opposite. DarkRP doesn't even got characters. DarkRP doesn't even got a local OOC command and did not have any /me command until the latest versions. It still don't got any /it command. The whole concept of jobs like gangster, mobboss, and hobo is just absurd. The mentioned "jobs" aren't jobs. Really, the whole "job" concept in general is very strange. Instead of looking at players like members of different groups (jobs) a true roleplay gamemode should look at players as individual characters which can have several jobs at the same time and develop criminality even though they aren't a member of any group or job.

Open Aura has maybe become a bit like the new DarkRP on many servers. But the reason for that is mainly because of the leaked versions of it, that makes it possible for any kid to start an Open Aura server and ruin Open Aura's reputation.

The script doesn't dicate quality of RP. It's possible to have amazing roleplay on DarkRP, if you got enough like-minded individuals to do so. Not that I'd reccomend it, but I'm just saying, people bitch about which gamemode is the best way too much. An intelligent community head will look for basic script stability and performance over stupid post processing and fancy vgui.

Well, if you want to see Open Aura at its best moments, you should try out some more professional servers.

This one pretty good for example: 89.145.94.250:27015

You aren't getting this at all are you? Paying for a gamemode does not mean your server will be instantly good, in fact, you are more likely to attract idiots who think paid gamemodes are the only good ones (like yourself). You can roleplay to a higher quality without a script than with scripts like OA, all it takes is the right players with the right mindset. The script is just spoon feeding you shit so your unimaginative brain doesn't have to stress itself.

Professional? Good god. You're implying that paying a few hundred bucks for a collection of lua files and such makes your server "professional", if that even exists. You see, that few hundred bucks could've been spent for a better quality in hosting. And like others have mentioned, the gamemode doesn't dictate the quality of RP, it's the playerbase. Hell, I've actually roleplayed on DarkRP, and just this week, I've roleplayed with a few other chumps on my server hosting Tiramisu, or your so called "inferior gamemode".

Out of several hundreds of DarkRP server we can find 2 professional servers. Out of 8 Open Aura servers, we can find 2 professional servers.. Wait.. Maybe script actually got some kind of impact?

"Relying on a script makes you a bad roleplayer, end of story." I totally agree. I don't see what you're trying to suggest here. As I've said several times, the script surely got an impact, but a professional server administration and management are even more important parts of a successful server.

You can't possibly believe that openAura is better when you've paid $150 for it. The free version of openAura works just fine and I usually find that people who buy openAura are spoilt little kids with what they think are massive egos, trying to make fun for them and them only.
